# End bell for belt conveyor idler assembly

## Abstract

An end bell includes a housing. The housing includes a bearing seat for a bearing positioned within an inner portion of the housing and includes a grounding groove for a grounding wire positioned along an outer portion of the housing. A method for attaching an end bell to a belt conveyor idler includes inserting a grounding wire into a grounding groove of the end bell, inserting a bearing into the bearing seat, and inserting the end bell into a belt conveyor idler assembly via press fit. The end bell is made of nonconductive material.
